"Plaintiff Magazine" launched for California attorneys.

Neubauer & Associates (San Francisco, CA), the publisher of "Advocate" magazine for attorneys in Southern California, has begun the publication of "Plaintiff Magazine" with an August issue. The new monthly title is targeted to plaintiff's attorneys throughout Northern and Central California. It has an initial controlled circulation of 5000, including trial lawyers, personal injury attorneys and consumer attorneys.

Described as a "nuts and bolts magazine of civil trial work," the new magazine offers information that focuses on a specific legal sector in each issue, with data on using complaints, discovery and voir dire to effectively win actions in areas such as employment, auto accidents, medical malpractice, products liability and insurance bad faith. It also includes articles on alternative dispute resolution, office management and legal marketing.

Neubauer said that "Advocate" magazine (Los Angeles, CA), co-produced with the Consumer Attorneys Associations for Southern California, is the largest regional magazine for plaintiffs' and attorneys in the U.S. It has a mostly-controlled circulation of 7400.
